Madrid to Barcelona is 616.1 km by road, about 6 h 51 min driving, through Spain. At 7 L/100 km that is 43 litres, €84.31 of diesel at €1.955/L — the kilometre-weighted average of the national figures below. At 5 L/100 km it is €60.22, at 9 L/100 km €108.40. Tolls and vignettes on file for this route come to €2.87 for a category 1 car; adding the tolled motorway kilometres we have no tariff for gives an estimate of €29.47. Diesel: 384 stations within 2 km had a price reported in the last 24 hours. Petrol: 373 stations within 2 km had a price reported in the last 24 hours. These are ROUTE figures for one specific pair of places, one way: a distance, a fuel cost derived from per-station medians, and published toll tariffs. They are not a national average and not a live quote at any single pump.
